|
100 |
This script may backup, compare and restore system preferences from file. |
101 |
The following parameters are available: |
102 |
-help: Print this usage statement |
103 |
-cmd: Command: backup, compare, restore or test |
104 |
-file: File name for command |
105 |
-add: Only for compares: restore preferences not in db |
106 |
-del: Only for compares: delete preferences not in file |
107 |
-upd: Only for compares: update preferences when values differ |
108 |
-ign-opt: Ignore options/explanation when comparing with delete flag |
109 |
|
110 |
Precaution: only the last command or file name will be used. The add, del and |
111 |
upd parameters are extensions for the compare command. They allow you to act |
112 |
immediately on the compare results. |
113 |
|
114 |
When restoring a preferences file containing a version pref to a database having |
115 |
another version, the restore will not be made. Similarly, a version pref will |
116 |
never be overwritten. A restore will overwrite prefs but not delete them. |
117 |
|
118 |
It is possible to edit the preference backup files. But be careful. The first |
119 |
parameter for each preference is a line count. Some preference values use more |
120 |
than one line. If you edit a file, make sure that the line counts are still |
121 |
valid. |
122 |
|
123 |
You can compare/restore using edited/partial preference files. Take special |
124 |
care when using the del parameter in comparing such a partial file. It will |
125 |
delete all prefs in the database not found in your partial file. Partial pref |
126 |
files can however be very useful when testing or monitoring a limited set of |
127 |
prefs. |
128 |
|
129 |
The ign-opt flag allows you to delete preferences that have explanation or |
130 |
options in the database. If you do not set this flag, a compare with delete |
131 |
will by default only delete preferences without explanation/options. Use this |
132 |
option only if you understand the risk. Note that a restore will recover value, |
133 |
not explanation or options. (See also BZ 10199.) |

=head1 DESCRIPTION |
270 |
|
271 |
This script may backup, compare and restore system preferences from file. |
272 |
|
273 |
Precaution: only the last command or file name will be used. The add, del and |
274 |
upd parameters are extensions for the compare command. They allow you to act |
275 |
immediately on the compare results. |
276 |
|
277 |
When restoring a preferences file containing a version pref to a database having |
278 |
another version, the restore will not be made. Similarly, a version pref will |
279 |
never be overwritten. A restore will overwrite prefs but not delete them. |
280 |
|
281 |
It is possible to edit the preference backup files. But be careful. The first |
282 |
parameter for each preference is a line count. Some preference values use more |
283 |
than one line. If you edit a file, make sure that the line counts are still |
284 |
valid. |
285 |
|
286 |
You can compare/restore using edited/partial preference files. Take special |
287 |
care when using the del parameter in comparing such a partial file. It will |
288 |
delete all prefs in the database not found in your partial file. Partial pref |
289 |
files can however be very useful when testing or monitoring a limited set of |
290 |
prefs. |
291 |
|
292 |
The ign-opt flag allows you to delete preferences that have explanation or |
293 |
options in the database. If you do not set this flag, a compare with delete |
294 |
will by default only delete preferences without explanation/options. Use this |
295 |
option only if you understand the risk. Note that a restore will recover value, |
296 |
not explanation or options. (See also BZ 10199.) |
